Amanda White Irish step dance

[purpleduckify]

no offence but do you have to pee or something your legs were crossed the entire time? but other than that im amazed im joining step team at our school and i thought that was hard but after you did that i have a whole new point of veiw on whats hard. maybe i have a chance after all!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!

[celticghillies03]

@purpleduckify Don't get the wrong impression, Irish dance is extremely difficult, it takes a lot of stamina and athleticism. You can still Irish dance, but be prepared, it's much much harder than it looks!! If you think it's easy, you will be disappointed.

[MissEmcat24]

@purpleduckify Um seriously?? In real Irish dance (like this) your legs HAVE to be perfectly crossed....

[LaochWins]

Those legs!

[booglespud]

Her footwork is awesome but her body is all over the place lol. Maybe it was just nerves getting the better of her?

[randomflyingchickens]

amazing turnout and footwork!! geez ..

[slipjig77]

What awesome dancing! I only wish I could dance like that someday...I really loved the choreo too.

[opinjaa]

I'd hit that.



[WillieBrennan]

two of the best looking legs ever. I know cause i counted 'em

[SweetEdelweiss09]

Nice footwork but she reminds me of Jell-o when she dances...which isn't a good thing at all.

[sdaqs]

@SweetEdelweiss09 Maybe you're just craving jello

[16foreverORnever]

@SweetEdelweiss09 well...u must be on crack then cuz she's really good

[SweetEdelweiss09]

@16foreverORnever Yeah, I take back on what I said. lol. IDK why I said that. She is really good.

[calichoreo]

With all whoos and whoops, who can hear her sounds?

[Dozer1003]

Aye, she made it look so easy...excellent job!

[reelirish1]

what school does she dance for? This is great!!! :)

[irishdancr17]

@reelirish1 tim o'hare.

[4096quagmire]

She is glowing! Is it the power of the dance?

[reelburke]

@4096quagmire It's the power of the tan. :D (couldn't resist)

[4096quagmire]

@reelburke Ha, certainly there's a lot of that goes on at feises, but it was actually the way her shirt is shining that I was referring to!

[jsbreeding]

damn sexy...



[duckesandmeforever12]

i do irish step dancing and its soo much fun!

[s9205287]

[molaoon]

[molaoon]

Lovley dancing, colleen bra das,go bhat lumsa.

[pixieprincess76]

insane turnout!

[Irishdancer45]

You are fabulous on your toes!

[grainneomahony]

you got it , everything is right and the fact u are beautiful and have the most glorious legs is a bonus maith an cailin

[1wrez79]

I really LOVE your steps. I ve been watching this video a few times and I never get bored .. very good!

[ILuvGreenDayX]

That was really good, but i noticed a few things.

1. Your foot is not completely crossed on the back-treble before that point.

2. Your knees are bent at several points during your toewalks.

3. Your arms seemed a little erratic at times.

I may just be nit-picking. It's still really good.

[aasigraa]

Amazing footwork ! I just started with Irish dancing! I hope I'll reach your level in a few years!

[edwwwin2]

que rico culo tiene esa hembrita le chuparia

[CA8LE]

what set dance is this ? it sounds really nice.

[nickygal255]

@CA8LE  king of the faries

[Dancer1078]

@CA8LE King Of The Fairies, I think(:

[nickygal255]

me and my friend will be irish dancing fo rour school talent show... i have a feeling it will sound like that lol

[irishdancerJess]

Nice job!:)

[jessie15273]

the songs to slow for the routine....... how many years ahve you danced (irish)

[bmhse1irishdancing]

@jessie15273 no its not its suposed to be this speed

[loodle56]

This is amazing! I understand the arm issue, I have pretty bad posture. But your footwork is beautiful!

[treblemaker176]

flex more on the toe stands, but very good! i love ur step!

[gitarrefish08]

very very good

[rabbitisgod]

not a strong upper body through that... but the rest was amazing

[manapana457]

yeah i agree.

really good with everything, but just a little upper body problems :) just like me

[dnblifer]

check out some dnb step, that`s real

step :))

[BREYERhorses11017]

amazing just the arms a little bit '

[enlightenmeonly]

ummmm WOW! amazing simply beautiful! you are a very gifted dancer!

[1wrez79]

WOW u r good!!

[tenestetubo]

I can see the potential. I love the background track. Does anyone know who's musician group or band that accordion (if it is) belong to. I love to have it.

[jirihozpodebrad23]

LOVELY footwork, really nice! i feel the arms need to be a little more streched through, even through the fingers, keeping them together to a feast. and what's about the screaming again?! in many videos it gives the feeling you're in some sort of teenie concert... gee... *lol*

[kire642003]

WOW YOUR TALENTED

[AgentsofSecret24]

Have you been to worlds?

[1wrez79]

U r really reallly amazing! Im impressed! Congratulations 2 u!!

[smoothiefreak49]

very good toe walks

[christelphantom]

my school does hard shoe to this song, it was a solo dance for my friend betsy, u r awesome

[HMSongbird2]

I'm all for good posture but I actually think in this particular video it isn't such a big deal - she makes what she's doing look so easy, and her relaxed posture has a lot to do with that. It wouldn't look okay in an ID dress and wig, but in shorts and a ponytail, it certainly isn't the end of the world.

[wickedrocketelvispel]

@HMSongbird2 Yeah, plus Amanda White is amazing anyway :D

[aasigraa]

Wauw! Amazing! You did a nice job! Especially your feet were very fast!

xxxx

[xoxbratney623]

i thinkkk you are a reallly gooood dancerrr! justt watchh your armsss(:

im not the one to talk cause my arms are not the best either but i always get in trouble for itt hahahah. keep workingg hardd!

[dancinghobbit87]

My brother laughs whenever he hears this music going because I've watched this video 100s of times. She looks relaxed, and in my opinion, and that enhances the dance. It reminds me of Colin Dunne, my other favorite dancer. Lovely--this is what dance should be.

[katsa444]

woop colin rocks!! i do king of the fairies too cept hers is tons better

[Zackary2514]

i think shes just wonerful!! :p im in champs. dnt be soo cruel people at least she has fancy foot work down ;) carrige is no big deal! easy to get that down:D...national champion.. ;0

[IrishGhillies]

i like it but her body sometimes looks like jello... like the posture is not being held tightly..

[shesastna]

thank you guys so much for your support and comments :))

it means alot to me!!

[lundycorofin]

needs to work on carrige especially on lifts

[saucygal87]

her form is all wrong

[stuartygx]

that looks like the same dance as a video of stephanie Dwyer

[nicolexsupamanthatho]

That's because it is... same school

[squarenp00]

Seems like it was a talent show or something so I think she was just being casual with the upper body. But she's very strong and works harder than anyone ive ever seen in practice :)

[cassie48682]

i love how you go on point!

[hhroxmysox101]

hey i cant even move my feet that fast so ima say that was AHHHMAZING!!!!!

[pmoreilly1982]

brilliant footwork but horrendus carriage and arms!!

[sXyaddiction]

agreed

[syriae]

that's true

[Bookwormclodee]

Unfortunately, I have to agree on that one. Shes gr8 otherwise, though!

[Koubenlin]

amazing rhythm, great foot placement but sloppy with the body

[ainegirly]

Damn girl that was really awesome - you are by far the best Irish dancer I have seen on youtube. You have such fabulous footwork and fantastic choreography:) Well Done!!!

[mutchocrazy]

That was nice ... where were you ?? theater ? school ?

I'm an Irish dancer too .. your ankle twists are nice ^^ congratz

[jumpnbounce11]

good try for a first timer

[GwenHarper]

Her dancing is amazing and she has gorgeous legs and feet (in a non-pervy way) but her upper body is a little loose. At times it almost looked more Sean Nos style (which isn't bad). She could do to work on her upper body carriage a bit, but she's still a better dancer than I'll ever be!

[megxoxo07]

o-m-g your great i am an irish dancer too an your ankle twists look great

[MrsJT23]

awesome dancing! Incredible toe stands!

[leprechaunrapist1986]

lol, whats with the Edith Piaff music?

[irishdancerayla]

waw!!! that was very good^^

I wish I could do that^^ I think I need to ermmm practise a little more *cough*

[XOcharXO13]

im an irishstep dancer 2! that dance looks hard

[DamainMcGintyFan]

FYI it's not called irish STEP dancing. it's only `irish dancing'. get it in ur heads!!!!!

[reelburke]

FYI yeah it is called Irish Step dancing-- It's only irish dance if you've been in it. The official name is Irish step dancing. Get it in YOUR head!!!!!!!!!

[periwinkle715]

wow very nice dancing! Were you really only in novice/prizewinner when you made this video?

[pidjix]

ooo hell yeah girl, that was awesome

[elenya111]

Beautiful! That was amazing. I love the tune of King of The Fairies its so catchy. Just remember to watch your arms but other than that fantastic! I envy your turnout =(

[craziidancer1108]

what set piece is this?

[treblemaker55]

King of the Fairies =]

[xIrishDancerrx]

Your footwork's amaziiiing. Especially the trebles and toe stands, nice work!

[irishcurls92]

Wow! That was awesome!

The toes walks are so good and I love the little turn and stuff during them!

Overall, really good dancing!

[CelticBabe17]

that was amazing! and so hard!

[bixxx22]

you have amazing toes!

like your sooo confident on them!

good job!

[Arithmatis]

You're absolutely AMAZING!

[Candyswan]

After watching it for 3 times at once, it still remained perfect...:)

[FeisGirl]

what set is this? is it King Of The Faeries? I'm kinda new to irish dance, only been doing it 2 years

[treblemaker55]

yup, it's king of the fairies =]

[SleepingBagFarts]

[FeisGirl]

I'm in North America. I'm novice/Open Prizewinner. I've moved some of my dances up since I made that comment :)

[twinkletoes3077]

beautiful feet but relax! Ur upper body moves cos ur trying 2 hard. With feet like urs, if u relaxed and enjoyed the dance, instead of overdancing, ud b perfect.

Well done tho!

[treblemaker55]

i absolutely love the way you do this set! and ur feet look gorgeous!! hope to see u in nashville =]

[irishdancer66]

She goes to my school. she's in championship

[FeisGirl]

[SOEINEGAUDI]

[irishdance13]

Helpful advice : watch your posture.

[debianazulmira]

[debianazulmira]

[MRECORE]

[glorious83]

Absolutely stunning!

[caitlin2195]

omg you are wonderful all you need to do is keep your arms in tite

[Julzdances703]

wow, great set dance! i especially loved the parts where you would do toe work and then go immediatly into rocks, it was so amazing! thanks for posting and sharing this great video, you are a very talented dancer.

[irishdancer66]

That set was the king of the fairies and she is from the O'Hare school. I dance with her and she is amazing!!

[5kclth]

YOU ARE REALLY GOOD!!!

[jomamma666890]

nice turnout!!

[cheekyxo]

King of the Fairies:)

[riverdancer123455]

[tonyuncleal]

WTf why U ppl HAte that shiet WAs EPIC

[danceallnight7]

tuck your arms in and kinda smile like a cool smirk! it helps in feises!hahahah lol but good work anyways!Dance like no ones watching!!! have fun!

[irishdancer99999]

hey ive been dancing for 14 years but I stopped competing 5 years ago. YOu are extremely good at toe stands! i was just wondering what set music that is!? also what school do you compete with!?

[wannaknowit]

jeeeeus how strong her feet are:))i adore her dance:))))amazing job whoever you are.)))i envy u a lot!!!!!!what an inspiration she is!!!!

[vulchermulcher]

make sure knees arent bent...

BUT OTHERWISE ... WOW!

[LunaLovegood22]

Awesome toe stands! (and lots of them)

[gozer092405]

Pardon my language...but holy shit!!! you rock!!!!!! I am still in class and I only dream of being half that good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[reelirishboy5]

People with talent...gotta love 'em!

[irishdancingbabe17]

beautiful.. i am an irish dancer and thats how good i hope to be someday!! good job!!

[pixie16stix]

wow, that was great!! i'm an irish dancer myself, you have awesome technique. i wish i could have heard the shoes better!

[jakeydog1987]

footwise it was v good, keep your back straight and watch your arms! as for "proobu" you may not see "arms oll over the place" but judges certainly will! nuf said!

[wedashit16]

that was crazy. u seriouslyy inspire me so much because i'm planning to start irish step dancing and i wasn't so sure if it would be cool or not but after watching this it looks really awesome! can't wait to learn it..

[GillianMoynihan]

Amazing!!! How long have you been dancing? Your footwork was great, but try to control your arms. Yeah, I know that's been said one too many times. :) And when you do your rocks, try to keep your legs tighter so we don't see a gap in-between them.

Still, great job, Amanda, and keep on dancing!

[erinttt]

amazing footwork.. although your upper body was VERY sloppy.

[xsickofitall]

I thought it was abit of a wobbly start personally, gradually got better though.

I like it, nice footwork.

[FREEASTHESTARS]

omg you are such a good dancer, you are sooooo goooddddd! -lol- this is a dancing masterpiece ur like the best dancer in the world lol keep up the good work!

[irishdancechik04]

that's gorgeous. i wish all my dancing looked like that. i agree that the arm are just fine. they're relaxed and when hid but sleeves and the stiff panels you wouldn't notice them at all. literally my only thing is that the leap looks a little odd, but that's just what it looks like to me. it might just be because it's a school thing and not compeition

[tigerlily86]

awesome

[proobu]

If a costume hid the details of her physique, much of the criticism would vanish too. Her sturdy build is part of her vigor and precision. I see no "arms going all over the place", I see arms relaxed. I don't want her "to be more grounded", I enjoy her getting all over the stage with deft and fast footwork. I had not yet seen the switch-foot pirouette at 00:33 or the pointe pirouette at 00:51. My regret is that the music drowns her taps which are the real music of this dancing.

[wannaknowit]

plus she has gorgeous turnout!!!she is sooooo full of energy that is what i see.

[wannaknowit]

i do envy her a lot,beautiful feet,she just needs to be more relaxed,maybe she is too nervous.she is a gorgeous dancer really!!!she must have been dancing for looong long time!

[FeisGirl]

she good, i admire her toe-stands and rocks but she needs more control in her upper body

[kaileigh9ox]

Very good.

Difficult step.

You did very well.

Go irish dancers ! : )

[gemwayker]

she's forcing herself far too much she should just try let the dance flow if she could master that she would be a fantastic dancer and it might stop her arms going all over the place

[gabbygurtie]

People are going to criticize, if you don't want it disable the comments section. The comments are not meant in a negative way. She is a really strong dancer but allowing other people to make comments may give her other things to work on to make her an even stronger dancer. The majority of it is not meant in any dis-respect...at least I hope its not.

[irishdancer66]

Amanda is a great friend and an amazing dancer. I bet that none of you can dance as well as her so get off the computer and practice.

[dancer65u]

shes very good, she just needs for control in her steps and to be more grounded

[anitajd]

i agree with defyingravity.her steps were nice but not well controlled she was gappy.her arms were all over and her posture was wrong.now im not saying im any better coz im not but nice steps dont equal nice dancing.

[chaussettegauche]

Bravo !!

She has absolutely splendid feet !

I wish I could dance like her... One day...

[un1sogno]

do you from o'hare in akron know aislynn gallagher?

[irishdancer66]

yeah i know asling i dance at ohare too

[ebabby2992]

O'Hare School of Irish Dance in Akron, Ohio.

[StevenGSR]

graceful foot and leg work...way too much arm movement which throws off the overall visual appeal.

[puzzleluvzme]

This girl has a a lot of strength and definition to her style. She has really flexible ankles and her rocks and toe stands are remarkable. She is a dancer to be reckoned with. Which school does she dance with?

[ebabby2992]

are you guys serious??? no time on your hands except to criticize a dancer on youtube...if you're so perfect why don't you get off the internet and practice yourselves cause i guarantee you can't dance the way she can. i take classes with her. and to answer your questions girls- yeah shes qualified three times and competed in the competition. she's also a top ten national dancer in B. so next time maybe you should figure your own mistakes out before you go on here and criticize someone elses

[metwinkletoes967]

Well said.I agree 100%. I think she is amazing!

[DEFYiNGRAViTYx3]

i think that you need to be mature and realize that videos aren't posted so everyone can be in awe of her dancing, and people have the right to comment. if the poster didn't want comments, they should not have posted. Also, i am also a championship dancer who goes through a lot of training and classes and you have no way of knowing how good i am.

[DEFYiNGRAViTYx3]

it was pretty good, but the posture was way off, and there are some parts that are really thrown when they need to be contolled (back trebles and the leap towards the end)

[rodsbig1]

Im 1/2 native and 1/2 irish and OMG I think this is awesome wonder how long she has been dancin prob all her life huh wow its jus....um nope no words but im impressed

[dancerlad]

very good!

[bexterkane]

I do this set and i loove this! beautiful work!!:D

[misscaiiit]

very nice !

i love your steps,

and all the toe stands in them!

[irishdancin02]

from the waist down it was absolutely amazing! and at last, someone with legs that don't look like gumby! haha.. work on the upper body but your turnout and moves were amazing! :D

[metwinkletoes967]

absolutley amazing!!!

about the arms, doesn't look like they were priority, it was just a talant show. I don't focus on them much when I do talent shows either. great job!

[wannaknowit]

jesuuuuuus christ.....her turnout.....SOOOOO IMPRESSIVE AND BEAUTIFUL!!!!And at last a girl who is not skinny!!!!:)))))

i adore her dance a loooooot!!!it is sooo full of energy!!!damn she is very talented!!!

[0daniboi0]

good. but u need to sort out ur carrige tho :) what level are u at? have u qualified for the worlds?

[Swanfleet]

good grief, that was amazing! That was probably the coolest hornpipe I have ever seen.

[feisprincess]

your footwork is really good- amazing, but you need to watch your arms! they should be much straighter! apart from that- it's really impressive! well done!

[xxlive4funxx]

Jus your carraige and maybe a bit more lift! very good though!

[rince02]

nice turnout and coreography =)

just be sure to really watch those arms and get your knees covered.

keep up the good work =)

what level are you in? prelim?

[KisaraPwnsj00]

oh my god your upper body and arms were all over the place. everything else was superb

[minipoppy37]

beautiful!

[mctricia82]

did she win the talent show?? very nice set.

[msbaylor]

WOW! that's awesome
